Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hand-worn cleaning tool suitable for washing dishes, and more particularly to a cleaning tool devised on a base between a thumb and an index finger.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional hand-worn cleaning tools include:
One example is the "cleaning tool with rubber gloves" described in JP-A-8-206049. This is a mitten-like rubber glove covered with a mitten-like sponge having a thickness of 1 to 2 cm. Hands are put on the rubber glove, and the sponge on the surface of the rubber glove contains detergent. Do not wash dishes.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned cleaning tool, whether it is in the form of a mitten or not, has the following problems because it has a glove shape covering all five fingers. In other words, when washing dishes with deep bottoms such as cups, there is a layer of rubber or sponge at the base of the thumb and index finger, and because it has the same thickness as other parts, There is a problem in that the part hangs on the mouth of the cup, and the part on the index finger side cannot be inserted to a deeper part of the cup.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a hand-worn cleaning tool which can wash dishes and the like for use. In addition, the part on the thumb side can rub different parts (such as the side opposite to tableware) from the part on the index finger side, but the part on the thumb side and other parts are integrally formed as gloves. For,
There is also a problem that it is difficult to wash dishes at the part on the thumb side.
Therefore, when the thumb is used for the cleaning work, the above-mentioned problems should be solved.

[0005]

Prior to solving the above problems, the inventor of the present invention has found that the conventional washing tool does not allow the thumb to be freely used, so that it is difficult to wash dishes and the like. That is, it has been found that it is difficult to solve the above-described problems unless the base of the thumb and the index finger and the thumb itself are free. Ideally, there is nothing at the base between the thumb and index finger and the skin is exposed.

[0006] The above object is to be mounted on a hand, characterized in that at least the index finger and the middle finger can be covered, and the base between the thumb and the index finger is formed so as to directly contact the object to be cleaned. This is achieved by providing a cleaning tool.

In the case of covering only the index finger, the contact area with the object to be washed, such as tableware, is small and the efficiency is low. However, if it covers the index finger and the middle finger, there is no problem with the contact area. The use of two fingers to wash the inside of a cup or the like is very natural. Also, at this time, the base between the thumb and the index finger can directly contact the object to be cleaned, so that the index finger side can be inserted to a deeper portion of tableware such as a cup.

In the apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, which further includes a cleaning tool for covering the thumb, this part and a part capable of covering at least the index finger and the middle finger are separate bodies.
The degree of freedom of the thumb is high, and the part on the thumb side can be easily washed with another part from the part on the index finger side.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a cut is provided for further extending the thumb, so that the cut allows the thumb to escape to the outside, so that the hand can be covered more deeply. For this reason, there is also an effect that a heavy cleaning tool containing water is hard to fall out of the hand. In addition, when actually used and seen, when the thumb is put out, the real feeling that it is not depressed is obtained.

[0010] According to the first aspect of the present invention, a hole for further protruding the thumb is provided, and since the hole allows the thumb to escape to the outside, the hand can be covered more deeply. At the same time, the thumb rests on the hole, so that the cleaning tool does not fall out of the hand.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, at least the index finger, the middle finger and the thumb can be covered, and the base between the thumb and the index finger is formed thinner than other parts. It is also achieved by providing a hand-worn cleaning tool characterized by the following.

Since the base between the thumb and the index finger contacts the object to be cleaned via the thinly formed portion, the index finger side can be inserted to a deeper portion of tableware such as a cup. The degree of freedom of the thumb is high.

According to the first or second aspect of the present invention, if the index finger and the middle finger are formed so as to be separated from each other, the index finger may play a role in preventing the cleaning tool from falling off. I can do it.

Further, according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, the cleaning tool is formed so as to be able to close the insertion opening of the finger, so that the cleaning tool does not fall out of the hand.

According to the first or second aspect of the present invention, if a waterproof layer is provided inside, it is possible to prevent water from directly entering from this portion.

[0016]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and does not depart from the spirit of the present invention. Needless to say, various design changes can be made.

First Embodiment In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a cleaning tool made of sponge (polyurethane foam), and has a thickness of 7 to 7.
10 urethane front and back two urethane layers,
It is formed into a bag shape by bonding with the bonding portions 11 at three edges except for the insertion opening 12 side for inserting a finger. A rubber-coated surface 13 is formed in advance on the inner surfaces of the two front and back urethanes. Reference numeral 10 denotes a cleaning surface.

When four fingers from the index finger to the little finger are put into the cleaning tool 1, the result is as shown in FIG. With this, the inside of the cup can be cleaned by inserting it into a cup or the like. The cleaning surface 10 may contain a detergent in advance. At this time, the base (point A) between the thumb and the index finger can directly contact the object to be cleaned. Therefore, the usability is very good. Although the rubber-coated surface 13 prevents the detergent or water from directly entering the inside from the cleaning surface 10, the rubber-coated surface 13 may not be provided.

The cleaning tool in the range indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 1 can be used. This is a cleaning tool for inserting the index finger and the middle finger. The present invention covers at least these two fingers.

Second Embodiment Referring to FIG. 3, a cleaning tool 1 is constructed by laminating two front and back urethanes having a size such that a palm is hidden by about half, and bonding the edges with a bonding portion 11. It is formed into a bag.
However, the edge portion on the thumb side is provided with a short bonding portion 11 so that a cut 14 for protruding the thumb is formed. Reference numeral 15 denotes a rough cleaning surface, which is different from the sponge-made cleaning surface 10 and is made of nylon.

The cleaning tool 1 according to the present embodiment is intended for use with the right hand, and the cut 14 allows the thumb to escape so that the hands can be covered more deeply. There is an advantage that it is hard to fall off. The base (point A) between the thumb and the index finger is open and free. A rough cleaning surface 15 is provided on the palm side, and the object to be cleaned can be roughly rubbed on this surface. Although this cleaning tool 1 is for right hand wearing,
It goes without saying that it may be attached to the left hand. Further, the cuts 14 may be provided on the left and right of the cleaning tool 1.

Third Embodiment As shown in FIG. 4, the cleaning tool 1 is composed of two front and back urethanes each having a size such that the palm is completely hidden, and the edges are adhered to each other at the adhesive portion 11 to form a bag. It is formed by molding. However, the bonding portion 11 was provided at the edge on the thumb side so that the hole 16 for taking out the thumb was formed. Reference numeral 17 denotes a nylon mesh, which is superimposed on the front and back cleaning surfaces 10 and adhered and fixed at the adhesive portion 11.

According to this embodiment, the cleaning tool 1 is mounted so that the thumb once inserted from the lower insertion port is allowed to go out of the hole 16 as it is. Since the thumb serves as a stopper, there is an advantage that the cleaning tool 1 which has become heavy containing water does not fall out of the hand. Point A is open and free. Further, since the entire cleaning tool 1 is covered with the mesh 17, the object to be cleaned can be strongly rubbed. The holes 16 may be provided on the left and right sides of the cleaning tool 1.

Fourth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 5, the cleaning tool 2 is used to insert four fingers from the index finger to the little finger, and in particular, separates the index finger from the other three fingers. It is configured so that it can be inserted. That is, two urethanes are superposed on each other, but formed so as to separate the index finger and the middle finger, the cleaning surface 20 and the cleaning surface 21 are separated from each other, and the edges are bonded to each other with the bonding portion 22 to form a bag. Formed by molding.

Since the index finger is inserted into a portion of the cleaning surface 20, the index finger can play a role in preventing the cleaning tool 2 from falling off.

Fifth Embodiment An operation similar to that of the above-described fourth embodiment can also be obtained by the following configuration. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the cleaning tool 3 made of cotton knitted gloves is sewn at three edges except for the finger insertion opening 33 by the seam 31 and separates the index finger from the middle finger. Is provided with a seam 32. Reference numeral 30 indicates a cleaning surface of the knitted glove.

In this manner, the index finger can play a role in preventing the cleaning tool 3 from falling off.
The same effect can be obtained by sewing the front and back sides only in the spot position. Further, the front and back sides can be stitched between the fingers, so that the fingers can be separated from each other.

Sixth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, a cleaning tool 1 for inserting four fingers from the index finger to the little finger and a separate thumb for inserting a separate thumb. And one cleaning tool 4. Each of the cleaning tools 1 and 4 is made of urethane. Reference numeral 40 is a thumb cleaning surface.

With the cleaning tools 1 and 4, for example, the front and back of a cup can be cleaned simultaneously. At this time, since the thumb cleaning tool 4 is independent, the thumb can be freely manipulated. In addition, since the base (point A) between the thumb and the index finger can directly contact the mouth of a cup or the like, the cleaning tool 1 side can be inserted to a deeper portion of tableware such as a cup. is there.

Seventh Embodiment As shown in FIG. 8, this embodiment has basically the same configuration as the above-described sixth embodiment, but further includes the insertion of cleaning tools 1 and 4. Bands 18 and 4 at the mouth to prevent falling off
1 is provided. As for the cleaning tool 4, a hook-and-loop fastener 42 is attached to the back surface of the band 41, and a hook-and-loop fastener facing the hook-and-loop fastener is also attached to the thumb washing surface 40 side. Similarly, the cleaning tool 1 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener as shown by a broken line on the back surface of the band 18.

By strongly tightening the bands 18 and 41, even if the cleaning tools 1 and 4 become heavy with water, they do not fall off from the fingers, so that the user can concentrate on the cleaning work without worry. I can do it. The band 18,
A rubber string may be provided instead of 41.

Eighth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 9, this embodiment has basically the same configuration as that of the above-described sixth embodiment. A rubber ring 19 for passing the thumb is attached to the side, and a rubber ring 43 for passing the index finger is attached to the side of the insertion opening of the cleaning tool 4.

In order to attach the cleaning tools 1 and 4, the thumb is inserted into the cleaning tool 4 and the rubber ring 43 is hung on the index finger. Hang it on your thumb. This can prevent the cleaning tools 1 and 4 from falling off. The rubber ring 1
Instead of 9, 43, a cut yarn or the like which does not expand or contract may be used.

Ninth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, cleaning tools 1 and 4 are connected by a bridge 44. This bridge 4
The cleaning tool 4 is made of the same urethane as the cleaning tools 1 and 4, but has a thickness much smaller than the urethane of the cleaning tools 1 and 4.

Therefore, the base portion (point A) between the thumb and the index finger contacts the mouth (edge) of the cup via the bridge 44. Since the bridge 44 is very thin, The conventional problem as described above does not occur. Also, the flexibility of the thumb remains high.

Tenth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 11, the cleaning tool 5 has two mittens shaped loofahs, which are large enough to hide the palm of the hand, are overlapped, and the edges are sewn with seams 53. , Formed into gloves of mittens. Further, a feature of this embodiment is that a notch 52 is provided at a portion of the cleaning tool 5 corresponding to the base (point A) between the thumb and the forefinger.
The difference is that the base between the thumb and the index finger is exposed outside the cleaning tool 5. Reference numeral 50 denotes a cleaning surface.

Although the cleaning tool 5 has the notch 52 in spite of the appearance of the gloves of the mittens, the ideal form of exposure of the skin is realized, and the space between the thumb and the index finger is realized. Since the base portion can directly contact the object to be cleaned, it is possible to insert the index finger side portion to a deeper portion of tableware such as a cup. It is significant that the notch 52 allows the thumb to move relatively freely.

Eleventh Embodiment As shown in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, a cleaning tool 1 is provided outside a vinyl glove 6.

In the above-described first embodiment, the rubber-coated surface 13 is formed in advance on the inner surfaces of the front and back urethane sheets. For this reason, although the detergent or water is prevented from directly entering the inside from the washing surface 10, it is difficult to infiltrate from the insertion port 12 side. However, such a problem can be satisfactorily avoided with the vinyl glove 6 as in the eleventh embodiment.

Twelfth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, a cleaning tool 7
However, it is characterized in that it comprises a cleaning surface 70 made of sponge on the front surface and a coarser cleaning surface 71 made of nylon on the back surface.

Therefore, the side to be used by the cleaning tool 7 can be changed depending on the degree of contamination and the type of the object to be cleaned.

Thirteenth Embodiment As shown in FIG. 14, in this embodiment, a cleaning tool 8
A non-slip 81 made of a rubber plate is attached to the inner surface of the cleaning surface 80.

By the action of the non-slip 81, the attached cleaning tool 8 can be prevented from falling off to some extent.

Fourteenth Embodiment In the above embodiments, two superposed urethanes and the like are bonded at their three edges to form a bag. However, in this embodiment, As shown in FIG. 15, one sheet of urethane is folded in two at the bent portion 91, and the edges facing the bent portion 91 are sewn to form the front and back. Reference numeral 92 indicates a seam, and reference numeral 90 indicates a cleaning surface.

The method of forming a bag-like shape is optional.

Since the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, for example, a raised body or a nonwoven fabric can be arbitrarily adopted as a material for the cleaning tool. In the case of urethane, using open-cell urethane on the surface side containing water and detergent,
A double-layered structure using waterproof closed-cell urethane on the back side polymerized on this can be used. Further, the thickness of these materials is also arbitrary.

In the case where the two front and back urethanes are molded into a bag, an adhesive may be used.
Further, it may be performed by thermocompression bonding, and this point is optional.

The urethane may be wound around the index finger or the middle finger of the vinyl glove, or a hanging hole or a hanging string for draining and drying may be attached to the cleaning tool. In the case where a cleaning tool for the thumb is provided, both may be connected by a string or the like. The cleaning tool for the thumb may be integrated with the cleaning tool for the index finger using a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0049]

As described above, the present invention is characterized in that at least the index finger and the middle finger can be covered, and the base between the thumb and the index finger is formed so as to directly contact the object to be cleaned. It is a cleaning tool to be attached to the device. A hand-worn wash that is at least large enough to cover the forefinger, middle finger and thumb, and that the base between the thumb and forefinger is formed thinner than other parts. It was a tool.
